Social Impact
I believe the most impactful actions are those that uplift and empower individuals facing adversity. Throughout my career, I’ve led many mission-oriented efforts within the corporate world, including leveling the playing field for English language learners, creating online solutions to bring qualified teachers to rural and urban schools, bringing the World Book Encyclopedia online, and making digital solutions ranging from healthcare to movie rental more accessible. While these projects have been deeply impactful, I’ve also devoted significant time to leading social impact innovative initiatives beyond the corporate sphere.
This section highlights two of these initiatives. Rather than presenting them as traditional design portfolio case studies, they are shared here to inspire and provide guidance for other social impact entrepreneurs striving to make a difference.
